Bukayo Saka Expected to Miss Up to Four Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Club assessments point to a short layoff rather than a prolonged setback.

Overview

  • Saka suffered the injury during Arsenal’s 5-0 win over Leeds United, limping off in the second half at the Emirates.
  • He is set to miss Arsenal’s upcoming visit to Liverpool as well as England’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Serbia.
  • Captain Martin Ødegaard sustained a shoulder problem in the same match and left with his arm in a sling.
  • Arsenal remain hopeful Ødegaard can feature at Anfield, with club sources indicating neither issue appears long term.
  • Saka missed three months last season with a similar hamstring problem, though Arsenal believe their current squad can absorb short-term absences.
